Direction and God's Heartbeat
Well first of all,I have to give God praise for giving little ole me direction for what lies ahead.:) So a 360 change is in store. I will be pursuing my nursing education starting this fall. I have been praying about it for a little while. Teaching,nursing,if anything. So with weighing it all out, continuing my education for a nursing career is what is best for us all now. I graduated in 2004 as a LPN and then I found out I was pregnant with Adyn(answered prayer). Then we move and add to our family again thru adoption.:) So I still hang on to my LPN degree,and I will be ready for 3 and 4th semester next fall and then my RN degree will be done. This semester I plan to take a couple classes on tues and thurs and the same in spring 2012. Maiya will start at the FCC preschool in August and only go 2 days a week while I am in school. I will be out of class by 11:00 and have till 3 for mama time. Time to feel refreshed as a mama. :) This will be so good for Maiya socially.Then I go get all the kids at 3. Bailey,Adyn and little Maiya. Adyn starts kindergarten this fall,so excited for him,but yet dreading it for me.:) NO SUMMER CLASSES, free with all 3 kids!!:) Praise the LORD for helping us out this week with something and for direction, and I am actually looking forward to school. Shane and I have total peace with this plan. Now for God's heartbeat and what is transforming in ours... Shane and I have connected with a church in KOLKATA INDIA. I was sleeping the other morning and I heard my phone go off with a email alert. So I check it and it is from the pastor at this church directed to our family. SO great what God is doing there and he asked us to pray for there upcoming crusade in the state of Bihar. Bihar is next to Kolkata. Oh, this just woke me up with a smile and I could see people in India having church and being connected with GOD. People have been repenting,getting baptized and filled with the HOLY GHOST. How great is that? Actually,there is nothing greater. Then thoughts of the orphanage ran thru my mind. Thoughts of Maiya's birthmom,thought of India,my heart beating faster as I lay there and start to reallize God has given us a heartbeat for India,the people,their souls,the children. All of it. You never know what the Lord can have in store for your life. I look back now,and think of how awesome it is that God lead Maiya to us. Blessings beyond words. We had some park play today,and I got some great pictures of the kids. Hoping I can post them soon. In this time, we are loving being a family of 5. Trying to start on Maiya's Gotcha Day Book to give to her on her first Gotcha day anniversery coming up in May.

Wow -- can you let me know the name of that church? We'd like to go to a church on the Sunday of our next trip, whenever that is. How exciting to continue your schooling! The moms I know who are nurses have such great opportunities for part-time scheduling. I hope it goes well for you!
